Chapter 144: Chapter 0144 Lazy Beauty

"In this day and age, why does nobody believe the truth?" Chu Ge said somewhat exasperatedly, looking at the rearview mirror, "For real, I borrowed it from Zhao Wuji!"

"If you don’t want to tell the truth, then forget it." Mu Bingtong rolled her eyes at him, obviously not believing his words at all. Meanwhile, Chu Ge couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Since Mu Bingtong didn’t have to work the next day, she comfortably nested on the sofa that evening watching TV, fully revealing her lazy side.

It has to be said, Mu Bingtong, dressed in home clothes with her hair loose, lazily half-reclining on the sofa with her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, looked uniquely beautiful.

"Pfft—" Shen Yaoyao’s gaze had been darting back and forth between Chu Ge and Mu Bingtong, suddenly covering her mouth and laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Bingtong, confused, looked at Shen Yaoyao, not understanding what this silly girl was getting excited about.

Shen Yaoyao laughed for a while before she said, "Hahaha, I was amused by the way someone stared at Sister Mu, almost popping his eyes out!"

"Yaoyao, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Ge said, not showing any sign of embarrassment. Instead, it made Mu Bingtong blush instantly, glaring at Shen Yaoyao.

"What the heck!" Shen Yaoyao pouted, muttering, "It’s weird, the peeper isn’t blushing, yet why are you blushing..."

Although Shen Yaoyao was muttering, everyone was sitting very close by, so naturally, Mu Bingtong heard her clearly, her pretty face turning even redder, almost to the point of bleeding.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge kept his gaze fixed on Mu Bingtong’s shy demeanor, unable to look away.

Eventually, unable to withstand Chu Ge’s intense gaze, Mu Bingtong put the remote control on the coffee table, "I’m a bit tired, you all should rest early too."

As soon as her words fell, she headed towards the staircase.

On the sofa, Shen Yaoyao cheered and snatched the remote control, "Haha, Sister Mu finally left. She always watches those boring financial shows!"

Chu Ge’s voice followed immediately, "Hey, we agreed to make Bingtong blush and go upstairs, then watch Happy Sheep together, why are you backing out now?"

"Ah, Uncle Chu! How old are you to still be watching Happy Sheep?"

On the staircase, Mu Bingtong stumbled, almost tripping. Was that scene just now all organized between them, just to fight for control over the TV?

The playful banter continued till after ten o’clock. Since Shen Yaoyao had school the next day, she went back to her room to sleep. Chu Ge indulged in watching Happy Sheep for a few hours as he wished, before reluctantly returning to his own room.

Every night, apart from adjusting his Inner Strength, he also condenses Spiritual Energy into Spiritual Liquid, which Chu Ge has made into a routine.

Now, after such a long time, he’s accumulated a sizable stockpile. These items are rare treasures for Martial Artists, let alone ordinary people?

Once Chu Ge reveals the existence of this Spiritual Liquid, let’s not talk about the Ouyang Family— even the Duan Family, whom he had severely offended in the past, may shamelessly cozy up to him.

There was no conversation throughout the night. Zhao Wuji, quite smart as he was, had promised to help him reach the Postnatal Realm within a week and hadn’t called since, which Chu Ge found very satisfying.

However, it was Huo Tianqian’s situation that made Chu Ge feel somewhat uneasy. He had tried to call him before, but for some reason, the calls wouldn’t go through.

Thus, Chu Ge decided to personally visit once things here stabilized!

The night passed without incident, and the next day was a holiday, so Mu Bingtong took the rare opportunity to sleep in. Despite the long days of fatigue, and Chu Ge’s use of the Spiritual Liquid to prevent physical harm, her mental exhaustion was hard to recuperate from.

Therefore, Chu Ge didn’t wake her up until after ten o’clock when Mu Bingtong, her hair flowing, slowly descended the stairs.

It’s undeniable, certain things were deeply ingrained in her; even in her most relaxed state, Mu Bingtong still managed to look neat with her long hair brushed smoothly over her shoulders, unbound.

Upon seeing Chu Ge, Mu Bingtong’s pretty face couldn’t help but blush slightly as she coughed and said, "Cough, um, I was a bit tired, so I got up late."

"Hmm." Chu Ge didn’t tease her this time, only pointing to items like soy milk on the table: "I just heated it up; hurry up and eat something."

"Hmm." Mu Bingtong’s eyes flickered with a touch of emotion, she didn’t say much and gracefully sat at the table to start eating.

"Right." Just as she finished a bun, Mu Bingtong suddenly said, "Since today is a holiday, why don’t you go to the mall and buy a few suits yourself? I’ll take a good rest at home, so I won’t go with you."

"Suits?" Chu Ge was startled and asked, "Why would I buy suits? You know I’m not used to wearing them..."

"You haven’t adjusted yet?" Mu Bingtong gave him a helpless look as she slowly drank her soy milk and said, "But now you’re the HR manager; you represent the company’s image. Plus, the company is recruiting tomorrow, and you’re the chief examiner. Do you plan to wear cheap casual clothes?"

"Eh, I’m the chief examiner?" Chu Ge widened his eyes, "Bingtong, stop joking. You know my actual situation; I’m really not cut out for business."

"What’s with all the fuss?" Mu Bingtong then showed her assertive side, smacking her chopsticks on the table, her beautiful eyes glaring at Chu Ge: "Are you going or not?"

"Going!" Chu Ge immediately suppressed his reluctance, a look of noble intent on his face: "If... it concerns the company’s image, how could I embarrass the company? I’ll go this afternoon!"

Facing Chu Ge’s playful behavior, Mu Bingtong could only respond with a helpless smile, as she really couldn’t handle this guy.

......

In the center of Shanghai, there’s an upscale clothing store that carries only designer brands. It’s not that Chu Ge liked luxury, but he simply didn’t want to bother, especially since Mu Bingtong had brought him here before and he remembered the name, so he came directly this time.

As Chu Ge had taken a taxi, and his clothes were rather plain, the clerks, though not outright dismissive, showed disdain and no one offered to assist him.

Chu Ge didn’t take it personally; after everything he had been through, encountering these snobbish attitudes hardly made a ripple in his heart.

He even welcomed the peace and went straight to the men’s clothing area on the second floor, prepared to pick out a few items and head back.

However, just as Chu Ge was about to choose some clothes, a group of men and women suddenly approached nearby.
